The rocket carrying Chandrayaan-2 was originally scheduled to lift off on July 15 early morning but was aborted after a 'technical snag' was observed in it.
The announcement comes a day after the fault in the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III) was rectified.
India’s ambitious mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-2, was aborted after a 'technical snag' was observed in the launch vehicle system early on Monday.
The Rs 978 crore Chandrayaan-2 mission was a prestigious one as it aimed to make India as the fourth nation in the world to land and ride on the moon after the US, Russia and China.
It is no ambitious pipe-dream, ISRO scientists have been working hard to develop the sophisticated and complex technologies required for Gaganyaan and the GSLV Mk-III launch vehicle that will propel the homebuilt capsule to its ethereal destination.
